1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Vinu kwa visoweru vya viboga vyavitambikilitwi vinyagu. Tuvimana kuwera twawoseri twenga twana malifa, kumbiti malifa aga gawatenda wantu walitumbiri, kumbiti mafiliru ganyawa.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
Walii yawalihola kuwera wamana kila shintu, nakaka wavimana ndiri shintu shoseri ntambu yashifiruwa kuvimana.
3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by him.
Kumbiti muntu yakamfira Mlungu, yomberi kamanikana na Mlungu.
4 Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no God but one.
Su visoweru vya kuliya viboga vyavitambikilitwi vinyagu, tuvimana kuwera vinyagu shintu ndiri pasipanu, twenga tuvimana kuwera Mlungu kayumu hera.
5 For though there are things that are called "gods," whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many "gods" and many "lords;"
Ata paviwera vintu vyavishemwa milungu pasipanu ama kumpindi kwa Mlungu, ata pawawera “milungu” Wavuwa na “watuwa” Wavuwa,
6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Yeshua Meshikha, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
kumbiti twenga twana Mlungu yumu hera, Tati yakaumbiti vyoseri na kupitila mweni twenga tulikala. Vilaa kwana Mtuwa yumu hera, Yesu Kristu na kupitila mweni vintu vyoseri viumbwa na kupitira mweni twenga tulikala.
7 However, not all have this knowledge. But some, being so accustomed to idols until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
Kumbiti kila muntu ndiri kagamana goseri aga, kwana wantu wamu wawera na vitiba vya kutambikira vinyagu, wantu weni mpaka vinu pawaliya viboga avi walihola kuwera vitambikirwa vinyagu. Toziya mmoyu yawu iwera legilegi, su walihola weni kuwera watenda vidoda kwa kuliya viboga avi.
8 But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we do not eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
Shiboga hapeni shiwezi kutujega tuweri pakwegera na Mlungu, patuleka kuliya hapeni tupungukiwi na shintu shoseri na patuliya hapeni twongereki na shintu shoseri.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
Kumbiti muliloli weri, ulekeziya wenu naguwatenda walii yawawera na moyu legilegi watendi vidoda.
10 For if someone sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol's temple, won't his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
Handa muntu yakawera na moyu legilegi, pakakuwona gwenga yaguvimana gwankuliya viboga avi mnumba mwa vinyagu, hashi, hapeni kaweri na moyu gwa kuliya viboga vyavitambikilitwi vinyagu?
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whom the Meshikha died.
Kwa njira ayi, muyenu ayu kana moyu legilegi, ndomweni Kristu kahowiti kwajili yakuwi, shirii gwenga shagushishema gushimani.
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Meshikha.
Handa pamuwatendera vidoda walongu wamwenga ntambu ayi na kuyitenduwa myoyu yawu legilegi, su mwenga mwankumtendera vidoda Kristu.
